OOAK Barbie Dolls

Fixing up new or played-with dolls is one of my biggest passions. As I am a pretty visual person, the combination of being a make-up artist, hairdresser, stylist and photographer is very appealing to me. :) This gallery presents some of the dolls I fixed up & designed. They're 100% unique, so there is no more than 1 in the world. :) (OOAK = One Of A Kind)
Some of my creations are up for sale @ eBay!

Trivia
  • I love re-styling old dolls! Giving them a new life makes me happy! :)
  • All previously played dolls are carefully, yet thoroughly washed & imperfections are removed.
  • I use top quality acrylic paints and sealers to repaint their faces.
  • Some of the mini jewelry is created by me using specialized equipment.
  • Haircuts are done with ultra sharp professional scissors.
  • Re-roots are done with high quality saran or nylon hair.
  • All photos are taken by Nikon D90 & post-processed with PhotoShop CS3.
